48ers would also be sweet.

Continentals also would be but maybe that's what Hawaiians call us.

I've heard Continental from a Hawaiian like once. Howlie is the term you'll hear more often than not.

Flashy Man did. I used it. I switched back to the knife. I was not impressed by that particular gadget.

As for the goggles... we'll see.

It wasn't an official Slap Chop.

Due to the irresistable offer of getting 2 for the price of 1 if you call within the next 10 minutes, I was given an official Slap Chop. Doesn't matter if it's the real thing or not. They still suck. Stick to the Shamwow for the cleanup afterwards. ;)

Haole.... sounds like a codeword for a-hole. ;)

So until now, I wondered why I was intrigued by this thread. Now I know. Random, disjointed humor about nothing - in one word, "Seinfeld." :p

Mostly its the Foopers who don't want to be associated with us Trolls, but they can't function on their own (see: the proposed State of Superior) so we're stuck supporting them like bastard children. :D

Outstanding link. It's time this campaign was reignited:
Efforts to secede and form a new state date back to 1858, when a convention was held in Ontonagon for the purpose of forming a new state combining the upper peninsula of Michigan, northern Wisconsin, and northeast Minnesota.[2] The new state was to be called either Superior or Ontonagon. The New York Times editorialized:

"Unless Congress should interpose objections, which cannot reasonably be apprehended, we see no cause why the new "State of Ontonagon" should not speedily take her place as an independent member of the union."[3]

Re: What I Learned Today...

I learned you're not supposed to fry a turkey in a van....

Botched WFLZ stunt starts blaze, injures firefighter

TAMPA - A radio station's turkey-frying stunt turned into a recipe for disaster this morning when an attempt to cook the frozen bird in a van resulted in the vehicle catching fire.

During a stunt for "The MJ Morning Show" on WFLZ, 93.3 FM, a grease fryer was placed inside the van, which had furniture in it that caught fire, Tampa Fire Rescue spokesman Capt. Bill Wade said.

WFLZ employees were supposed to lower the turkey into the van using a crane but never got a chance before flames engulfed the vehicle.

Firefighter Ken Licata injured his back during the incident at Clear Channel Radio, 4202 Gandy Blvd., Wade said. Capt. Licata, a firefighter for 26 years, was treated at a hospital and is now recovering at home.

About two hours after the fire, the other three members of Licata's crew had to fight another blaze without their captain available, Wade said.

It was initially reported one of the radio station's employees was injured, but WFLZ told Tampa Fire Rescue this afternoon that no one from the station was hurt.

Wade expressed anger over the stunt.

"They wanted a fire," Wade said. "They had no permits, no proper safety crews. When the fire got going, they called the fire department."

The morning show and stunt were streamed live on the station's Web site and recorded.

"We'll see what happens when we return," a disc jockey said before cutting to a commercial break, urging listeners to watch the escapade online. By the time the show resumed, the van was aflame.

Employees unsuccessfully tried to put out the fire.

The call to firefighters came about 8:20 a.m. The caller told the dispatcher that no one was in the flaming vehicle in the middle of the parking lot.

Two fire crews and a rescue car responded, Wade said.

"I am very upset that this radio station chose to do this stunt in an unsafe manner, causing injury to a firefighter," Wade said.

When reached by phone, WFLZ personality Todd Schnitt, known on the air as "MJ," declined comment, saying he would return a call later.

Investigators from the state and Tampa fire marshal's offices have handed their notes on the incident to the state attorney's office, which will determine whether charges will be filed.

In addition to WFLZ, Clear Channel operates several radio stations in the Tampa Bay area, including WDAE, 620 AM, and WFUS, 103.5 FM.
